“direct salaries plus employee benefits” and includes salaries for
partners and principals and for technical, professional, administrative, and clerical staff directly.

sick leave, vacation, holiday, and incentive pay; unemployment and other
payroll taxes; and contributions for social security, workers’ compensation insurance for retirement,

nonsalary expenses
57
very similar to the salary cost times multiplier in

invested capital, readiness to serve, and profit
cost plus fixed fee agreement
61
62
The fixed fee amount varies with the complexity and scope of the engineering services required. It is

True
63
this is a fund given to the engineer to use for minor expense that might be

Revolving fund
65
frequently used for investigations and studies for basic
services on design type projects where the scope and complexity of the assignment are clearly and
fully defined.
fixed price method of compensation
66
amount can be calculated as the sum total of estimated engineering
costs for salaries, overhead, and non-salary expenses, an allowance for contingencies, interest on

Fixed price
67
This
method may be used to determine the compensation of the engineer for services where the principal
